Texas-based father-and-son Funny Car duo Chad and Hunter Green lit up the boards at the NHRA DENSO Sonoma Nationals with a pair of career-best performances on Sunday, recording their fastest speeds ever in NHRA Funny Car competition.<\/p>\n

Racing at the 1,000-foot Sonoma Raceway strip, the Greens showcased serious power against a tough 16-car field during the 12th stop on the 2025 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series tour.<\/p>\n

Hunter Green, in his rookie season at the wheel of a 12,000-horsepower nitro Funny Car, advanced to the quarterfinals and defeated former world champion J.R. Todd in round one with a career-best 3.915-second run at 333.00 mph in his Pronto Auto Service Dodge Hellcat.<\/p>\n

He had earlier qualified sixth with a personal-best ET of 3.897 seconds \u2014 his quickest pass to date in a Funny Car.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had some good track conditions last weekend at Sonoma,\u201d said Hunter Green. \u201cThe cooler air and low humidity really help these cars run better. Our CGM team worked hard to get the clutch and motor dialed in. You can over-power the track when the air\u2019s this good, but our stuff came together. That 3.897 and 333 mph were my best yet \u2014 we\u2019re excited for what\u2019s ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hunter\u2019s day ended in the quarterfinals after losing traction against former world champ Jack Beckman.<\/p>\n

Chad Green, the reigning NHRA Gatornationals winner, also had his best career speed during eliminations, clocking 334.65 mph in round one with a 3.927-second pass in the CGM Bond-Coat Ford Mustang. Despite a strong effort, he came up short against Ron Capps, who ran a 3.854 in a marquee matchup between veterans.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very happy with the direction we\u2019re heading,\u201d said Chad Green. \u201cThe conditions were nearly perfect, and our Bond-Coat team has been making gains all season. We\u2019ve had a lot of hot and humid races, so to get a cool weekend like this and take advantage of it felt great. Hunter\u2019s Pronto team is brand new this year, and I\u2019m proud of what we\u2019re showing out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Greens will return to nitro competition at the\u00a0NHRA Lucas Oil Nationals\u00a0in Brainerd, Minnesota, Aug. 15\u201317, followed by the\u00a0U.S. Nationals\u00a0in Indianapolis, Aug. 29\u2013Sept. 1.<\/p>\n
